This popular herb grows in Europe, especially the Mediterranean, and is a member of the mint…

Method

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil and butter in a large roasting tin. Add the garlic and cook over a medium heat for 2 mins. Tip in the potatoes and toss to coat in the garlic butter and oil.

Pour the stock over the potatoes and season with pepper and a little salt. Bring to the boil then transfer to the oven. Cook for 40-45 mins or until tender.

Transfer to the stove-top and toss over a medium heat until most of the liquid has been absorbed and turned to a shiny glaze – about 15 mins. Tip potatoes into a warm serving dish and scatter over the thyme and serve.

Comments, questions and tips

Tried these last night,wonderful. Only thing I'd do differently is trim each end of the potatoes so that they sit better in the dish and brown them well at the first stage. (I watched the gf video)
At the last minute I found that I didn't have any vegetable stock so used a chicken stock which I made weak after reading other reviews,so it wouldn't be too salty.
Will definitely make these again.

One of my favourite recipes, I make it without the butter, using a little extra olive oil and we are dairy free due to allergies

SPECTACULAR!!
Made these to go with a nice blue fillet steak last night. I normally do Ramsey's red wine and shallot sauce [also super yummy] to accompany steak but left them nude as the garlic glaze on the taters was more than enough flavour. This wonderful recipe will be used again and again and again.
